Business Areas

The great number of small and medium-sized Danish enterprises constitutes a huge export potential – and the Trade Council therefore continues its special focus on these enterprises.

The Trade Council has a number of programmes especially targeted at the small and medium sized companies with international potential. The aim is to promote the internationalization of small and medium-sized Danish enterprises and assist them with opportunities in export markets.

The Trade Council also kick-starts small global growth enterprises’ exports with a new programme named VITUS. In only nine months VITUS is to lead to concrete export orders.
